		Cats Galore: A Compendium of Cultured Cats

An irresistible volume featuring illustrations of famous dramatis personae―with a feline twist

What happens when a cat becomes the subject of da Vinci’s Mona Lisa or takes the starring role in Hamlet or Lawrence of Arabia?

Susan Herbert’s feline interpretations of famous images from Western culture have charmed and amused readers for decades. Cats Galore brings together illustrations from the affectionately envisioned Pre-Raphaelite Cats, Shakespeare Cats, Movie Cats, and Opera Cats―as well as other delightful images of cats cast in scenes from art, theater, and film―into one delightful volume.

Divided into three sections―Cats in Art, Cats on Stage, and Cats in the Movies―this is the ultimate compendium for cat-loving culture buffs and cultured pet owners alike. Works by Degas and van Gogh retain their distinctive styles in spite of the furry faces; cats shine in Much Ado About Nothing and The Barber of Seville; and a bushy-tailed James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause stares at the camera with the iconic cigarette in his mouth. 326 color illustrations

“These new cat and art mash-ups are purrrfect. . . . The British painter captures the mood of each of the original works so eloquently that we can't help but be enamored.” (Artnet)

“If you love cats or just pictures of cats, Susan Herbert’s new book, Cats Galore is the book for you.” (Paste)

“Cat lovers will be eager to get their claws on this beautiful book.” (WWD)

“A fine, fun picture book for cat and art lovers of all ages.” (The Boston Globe)

“Herbert continues her penchant for unabashedly forcing cats into art history. It sounds like a hilarious construct, but the results are often―even more comically―fairly serious. From the cover of Tutankhamun's coffin to every painting ever created by Renoir, Herbert is leaving no prisoners.” (The Huffington Post)

I just love these kind of books, they are fun and interesting. The drawings inside are pretty and real. I will love to draw the things inside!!! You should buy this book if you love art!!!

书的品质非常好，很喜欢

Do you love cats? Do you love art, plays, or movies? Do love annoying your husband with obnoxious cat items? Do you want something that will start conversations about cats, so that you can then excessively talk about your marvelous cat. Then, this book is for you. :)
I really enjoy this book. I like art, but not enough to know the details about it. I learn a little about art but all the pictures have cats so it's silly and interesting enough for me to keep looking.

I love the book. Better than expected. Beautiful color prints and over 300 pages. Some very clever depictions. (Not the same cats over and over). The personalities of the people replaced by their cat persona are captured.

A Must have for Cat Lovers!...The illustrations are fantastic, touching, humorous, joyous...a must have!

Wow, impressive quality photos! Amazing hard cover, great for coffee table, so much fun to peruse.

I purchased this book as a gift for a cat-loving artist friend. The works depicted are fantastic. The cats selected are great. A perfect gift for a an artistic cat lover.
